Week 6: Flash self directed

Taking a portrait using the speedlite I had to take the image so my subject was correctly exposed using my aperture settings to control the flash output I put it on an f/stop of 16 my shutter speed was 1/125 and ISO was 100. In this image you can see that my subject is correctly exposed but I made some adjustments I used the exposure slider in the basic panel of camera raw to bring back detail into my subjects face I also used the HSL panel to bring more colour into my subjects clothing using the hue, saturation and luminance sliders. I also used the spot removal tool to take out the leaves in the background as well as the tyre of the car and the shadows I've taken a screenshot to show my adjustments made in camera raw.



In this task I had to use three different f.stops using the canon speedlite I positioned my subject outside on a sunny day here I used my lowest f.stop which was 4.0 my shutter speed was a little slow 1/40 I also hand held it I couldn't quite get the line to stay in the middle so I held the camera very steady in this image you can see that the subject is very over exposed.

Using an f.stop of 5.6 you can see that the image is still very over exposed but will a different f stop there are more detail in this image than the previous one. Here I used a shutter speed of 1/40 and my ISO was 100.


In this image I used an f.stop of 11 you can see how the lower f.stop values make the image look over exposed but when you change it to a higher f.stop value you can see more detail in the image while the background still looks over exposed you can see more detail in my subjects face. I used a shutter speed of 1/40 and my ISO was 100.


Using my highest f.stop value of 22 you can now see that my subject is more exposed then the previous images also my background isn't over exposed and there is more detail in this image. You can see how the aperture settings controls the output on the speedlite with the lower f.stops giving a more over exposed image while the higher apertures give you correctly exposed images. I also used a shutter speed of 1/40 and my ISO was 100. When I do my in class task sometimes I don't quite understand it but when I go back and do self directed I can see the difference in my work and it is more understanding to me when I look through my images.
